Smoke Haze in the Air

 




Although the cooler mornings have been nice, this is not  - wild fire smoke so thick it looks like fog. Cough, cough.  Why is it that this has happened only the last few years?  Growing up, we never (that I remember) had to deal with bad air quality.  It would have been a good day to open windows here.

Meanwhile I am trying to get caught up with everything that suffered in the last two weeks (it's not as bad as I thought), after planting the garden.  I'm struggling with blog content.  I may make it to the end of the year.  Maybe.

That’s awful about the smoke. I know how bad that can be. So far, no fires near us and no smoke.It’s hard on the lungs.

Here is hoping the smoke clears quickly.
I blog when I feel like it and don't if I don't.

Anne in the kitchen, it was pretty bad all day long. Thanks for the tip. I sort of feel obligated to my blog some days. I will keep that mindset.

We have the smoke here again today. We have the same as you almost 137 is our reading now. Years ago the Forest Service took better care of the Woodlands...so with their new practices we have more wildfires and more air pollution.

We're heading back north and hoping some of the smoke has cleared since we left last week. It has been so rainy and humid since we've been down south that I haven't noticed any here.
Blessings

Far Side of Fifty, that makes sense. I don't remember ever seeing this growing up, and it's so bad for my eyes, throat etc. Especially my eyes.

Betsy, I sure hope it's cleared for you. Camping in this smoke haze would not be comfortable.

R's Rue, it is pretty rough to get outside work done, but hopefully the haze will lift soon.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
